Lets's calculate LCM of 835,696
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 581160
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/581160
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5547/835,7172/696 is 1/581160
The formula of LCM is LCM(a1,a2,a3....,an) = ( a1 × a2 × a3 × .... × an) / GCF(a1,a2,a3....,an) x common factors(if more than 2 numbers have common factors).
We need to calculate greatest common factor of 835,696 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(835,696) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(835,696) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(835,696) = ( 835 × 696 ) / 1
LCM(835,696) = 581160 / 1
LCM(835,696) = 581160
